W. E. Kock of The Bel! Telephone Laboratories demonetrefee the
recently-developed "picture phone." Still in the experimental
stages, the "picture phone" has been used to transmit a recog
nisable image from coast to coast.
The Telephone Has Ils Eyes On
You! Be Careful What You Do!
Scientists have given evpi tn
the telephone.
And the. time may come in the
foreseeable future when a per
son can make a telephone call
and see and be seen by the per
son at the other end of the line
Its all in the experimental
stage now, however. This “pic
ture phone" is still undergoing
development and is not yet ready
for commercial use. Mr. John N.
Booth, Manager of Southern Bell
Telephone Company in Coving
ton. Ga., said today.
Researchers at the Bell Tele
phone Laboratories have used
the device recently to send recog
nizable pictures over distances
as great as from New York to
Los Angeles.
The images sent by the "pic
ture phone” vary in size from
one by one-and-a-half inches to
two bv three inches. They are in

the local chapters are very an
xious to exceed their quota.
The campaign is to raise $200.-
000 over the state and Governor
Griffin has stated he will match
dollar for dollar from the state
funds and this will make avail
able over $400,000 to be spent
at the Newton County FFA camp
for enlarging and improving the
, camp.
Facilities at the FFA and FHA
camp are used every summer
iby approximately 5.000 mem
-1 bers of the two youth organiza
tions and with this proposed en
. largement and improvements a
' greater number can be accom
] modated.
Wendell W. Crowe is county
chairman for raising the quota
and C. G. Henderson is treasur
er. The FFA and FHA chapters
have elected their own chairmen
aAd members of committee to
serve with Mr Crowe. In ac
cepting the chairmanship Mr.
Crowe said: “This is an oppor
tunity to invest in Georgia’s fu
ture and the people of Newton
County should be more interest
ed than any other county due
to the fact that the camp is lo
cated in Newton County.”
Mr. Crowe says he would like
to complete the campaign in one
week and urged those not solic
ited to mail or give their con
tributions to C. G Henderson,
treasurer, at the Bank of Cov
ington.
The committees elected by tjne

The picture phone” is not an
intruder Switches at both ends
of the line have to be "on” for
the picture to be transmitted
with the conversation. The pic
ture screen and camera are in a
box alongside the telephone. If a
person doesn't w ant to be seen he
can flip off the picture switch.
But at the same time he cuts off
his view of the party at the other
end.
Mr. Booth said the experimen
tal "picture phone” is the first
system of its kind to offer prom
ise of being commercially feasi
ble because it uses ordinary tele
phone wires for transmission.
[Only one oair of wires is requir.

Community News From
Brickstore
By MRS. JIM KNIGHT
Last week was a mighty busy
one in Brickstore Community.
Our Home Demonstration Club
met. Wednesday at the clubhouse
under the leadership of our new
president, Mrs. Walter Horst
man. The ladies brought Christ
mas ideas and suggestions for
gifts to make, and we all thor
oughly enjoyed Mrs. Malone’s
demonstration on Christmas dec
orations.
The Brickstore 4-H Club met
Thursday evening at the club
house and the young people were
delighted to have as their guests,
Mrs. R. M. Paty of Oxford and
Mr. Chote of Thailand. Both
guests and members were intri
gued with the Christmas demon
strations given by Ginger Knight
and Mrs. Malone and we predict
that grocers in the community
will have a heavy run these next
few weeks on moth balls, soda
and vinegar.
We were happy to have Mrs.
Paty and Mr. Chote stay for the
Improvement Club which met
later the same evening. Mr.
Chote particularly enjoyed the'
covered dish supper and recrea
tion and everyone was interest
ed in the illuminating talk Mr.
McKinney made on "Farm Trends
in Newton County.”
It is good to report that Mr.
Roy Leverett, who has been quite
ill, is on the recovery list now,
and we hope he is soon out again.
The Jim Knights were happy
to welcome their daughter, Patty
Lee, on her return from Chicago
where she spent last week at the
National 4-H Congress. Patty Lee
had many wonderful things to
tell, and she hopes to be able to
share her experiences soon with
Newton County 4-H'ers and with
local civic organizations which
have always been interested m
4-H work.
Mrs. P. T. Knighf of Atlanta
accompanied Jim and John
Knight on Sunday when they
took Patty Lee back to North
Georgia College at Dahlonega.
Mrs. Kinght remained at the
Knight home for several days.
